As the eighth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks approaches, the slow pace of construction at Ground Zero in New York is puzzling many people.
A poll found more than half of New Yorkers believe the rebuilding is going badly and more than 60 per cent do not think key parts of the project will be finished on time.
On the ravaged World Trade Centre site, signs of the massive rebuilding effort are finally edging above street level.
The work is hot and hard, but eight years after September 11, workers like carpenter Estelle St Clair are proud of the project.
"Even though I was so devastated then, I felt I didn't participate then when it happened, I feel like I'm participating now to bring us back to where we need to be here in New York and as a country," she said.
Years of cost blowouts and squabbling between the site's owner and developer have slowed down construction.
Work on the main tower, once called the Freedom Tower, is due to be finished in 2013.

OF A CERTAINTY the most ass dragging slow unfocused under managed girly-compromised "what about our original plan" American project of all time; we can loose a WAR in an Asian jungle in less time. This is why much reviled Texans fail to be impressed even a LITTLE BIT with woopity-e-dooo New York city. Holy God, (that most here don't believe in), New Orleans has at least SOME structures REBUILT! Git-er DONE!
